Muscular System I


Responsible for animal movement
Three types of muscle

Skeletal muscle


Cardiac Muscle


Attached to bones and causes movement of the body
Responsible for the rhythmic contractions of the heart
Smooth Muscle

Lines the walls of hollow organs

Lines the walls of blood vessels and the digestive tract

Muscle System II

Skeletal Muscle

Thin filaments


Contain globular protein actin arranged in a double helix
Thick filaments

Contain filamentous protein myosin


Both are parallel and arranged side by side
Contraction of muscle tissue

Sliding-filament model
Moves with the use of ATP
ATP can come creatine phosphate
Able to generate enough ATP to keep muscles contracted for
about 15 seconds

13
Nervous System I

Three Functions
Sensory Input
 Integration
 Sensory Output


Central Nervous System
The brain and spinal cord (in vertebrates)
 Carries out the body’s responses to stimuli


Peripheral Nervous System

Communication of one neuron to another

Nervous System Basics
Nerves I

Neurons
Basic functional units of the human nervous
system
 Three structures and functions


Sensory (Afferent) Neurons
Receives stimuli from environment
 Transmits impulses from skin and other
sensory organs towards the CNS


Ears; eyes; nose; tongue
Wednesday, May 24, 2017
15
Nerves II

Interneurons
Interprets impulses brought by sensory
neurons
 Submits “commands” to the motor neurons



Leads back to effector organs
Motor (Efferent) Neurons

Transmit impulses from the CNS to effectors

Target cells that produce some kind of response


Muscles
Glands

Nerves III

Neurons

Cell that transmits nerve impulses
Cell body
 Dendrite
 Axon


Glia Cells

Support and protect the neurons

Central Nervous System I
Brain

Cerebrum
Contains center for learned behavior
 Center for thought, memory and reasoning


Cerebellum


Controls balance & muscular activities
Medulla

Controls involuntary functions

Heartbeat; breathing; blood pressure
Wednesday, May 24, 2017
20
Central Nervous System II
Spinal Cord

Reflex

Rapid, involuntary response to a stimulus

Most are spinal


They only travel through the spinal cord and not the brain
The Reflex Arc

Pathway traveled by nerve impulses during a
reflex
Wednesday, May 24, 2017
21
Peripheral Nervous System I

All nerves of all types that branch through
the body from the CNS


Consist of all nerves outside of the brain and
spinal cord
Has two divisions
Somatic
 Autonomic

Wednesday, May 24, 2017
22
Peripheral Nervous System II
Somatic


Consists of motor neurons that stimulate
skeletal muscles
Control actions at voluntary skeletal
muscles
Wednesday, May 24, 2017
23
Peripheral Nervous System III
Autonomic

Motor neurons that control the activities of
Organs
 Glands
 Various involuntary muscles



Cardiac and smooth muscle
Two parts
Sympathetic Nervous System
 Parasympathetic Nervous System

Wednesday, May 24, 2017
24
Autonomic Nervous System I
Sympathetic


Prepare the body for action
Prepare body for situations requiring
alertness or strength or situations that
arouse fear anger, excitement or
embarrassment (fight or flight)

Responses that serve to fight of or retreat
from danger
Wednesday, May 24, 2017
25
Autonomic Nervous System II
Parasympathetic




Activates “calm” functions
Stimulates the processes of digestion,
urination and defecation
Reduces blood pressure, heart and
respiratory rates
Conserves energy through relaxation and
rest
